2.2.1 Consensus functions based on voting<br />

The main idea underlying consensus functions based on voting strategies is the notion that<br />

objects assigned to a particular cluster by many partitions in the ensemble should also be<br />

located in that cluster according to the consensus clustering solution. One obvious way to<br />

achieve this goal is to consider cluster labels as votes, thus consolidating different clusterings<br />

by means of voting procedures. However, due to the symbolic nature of clusters (caused<br />

by the unsupervised nature of the clustering problem), it is necessary to disambiguate the<br />

clusters across the l components of the cluster ensemble prior to voting.<br />

One of the pioneering works in voting-based consensus clustering was the voting-merging<br />

algorithm (VMA) of Dimitriadou, Weingessel, and Hornik (2001). In that work, cluster<br />
